I took this 5" x 12" white board from Walmart (around $4) and decided to make it into a message center that you could write on OR pin notes/envelopes onto. It was a quick and inexpensive home decor project. My title "Notes" was cut at 1-1/2" using the Cricut Hello Kitty Font cartridge (base font).

I have seen people decorate clothes pins and wanted to give it a try. I found a huge pack of clothes pins at Walmart for like $1 and then using Mod Podge, adhered paper to the front of them. I measured the approximate size and then I trimmed off any excess paper with scissors. I then Mod Podged over the top of the paper. I added a strip of magnet to the back of each clothes pin. Walmart sells them in just the right size.

The tops of the clothes pins are from the new Cricut Sophie cartridge (a Cricut Circle exclusive). They are actually the tops to the bookmarks that can be made on the cartridge so they were cut at 5-1/2" (as they are proportional to the bookmark itself).

I made some rosettes and mounted the flowers, butterfly and bird onto them. Making rosettes is best done with a hot glue gun. Anybody recognize the phone number below? Hee hee...

For those of you who don't have the Sophie cartridge, you could substitute these flowers, bird and butterfly with other comprable images found on cartridges like Home Decor, Paisley, Accent Essentials, Songbird, Hello Kitty, etc.

This is absolutely adorable. I have been meaning to cover some clothes pins. Love your display and your Stampin' Up paper! It is on sale this month!! Your font looks so cute on this!!!Watch out there will be no dry erase boards left after this post!Hugs, barb

OMGosh, Guess what I'm whipping up for my daycare kids to work on!!! Thanks for the idea. I was racking my brain on a craft project for them to do!! Oh, I got a big chuckle on the Jenny phone number! Now that songs stuck in my head! UGH! heehee Happy Wednesday, Theresa

Very cute and practical idea. Did not recognize the phone number until I sang it (don't worry, not outloud). I used to have a white board on my dorm room door. Great idea for those going off to school.

I LOVE this idea! I'm always looking for fun gift ideas for my 17-year old daughter's friends. This is quick, easy and looks fantastic! I could even substitute animals or some fun "girl stuff" instead of flowers. Thanks for the modge podge tip for the pegs too.

I love the clothespin magnets with the cute designs. Great idea for Bible School crafts. You always have great ideas and I enjoy your blog very much. Keep up the good work. I wish I was a creative. LOL

That is a so cute, it would make a great board for a little girls room for back to school, my granddaughter would love it! uter, what will you think of next. And the clothes pins just make it that much cuter. What will you tink of next. Thanks!

I think I will make up one like this with my Card challenge blog names on it and then note the Challenge on the clip each week. Yep, maybe then I will get some more done on time. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a wonderful gift idea this is. I have several friends who are teachers and two daughters in college so this will definitely be a project I will be completing soon. Just wish I could find a Hello Kitty Font Cartridge somewhere. Thanks for sharing.
